Funny Day at Delhi Metro
Standing in the long queue at the exit, there came this man coolly ignoring the
line and standing ahead of some 5 or 6 passengers who were ahead of me. Being
someone who cannot tolerate anything wrong, I said the man standing in front of
me Please tell that man to follow the queue. He religiously followed my
instruction and passed on the communication to the next person who then passed
on to the next until the message reached the concerned person. This man
realized it was not right, but before anything a giant man standing next
to him said to him Tum kahin nahin jaa raheho (You are not going anywhere). He
looked at us angrily and said Beta hai mera (He is my son). Ideally he was
right, since he was already in the queue he could make his son stand with him.
That's how things work in Delhi. But by then I was so pissed off with the act I
said the man in a frustrated tone Beta hai toh saamne bithado (If he is your
son make him sit right at the front). I didn't need to say the nonsense. I
wondered myself Have I become the so called Bad Delhiite? Have I been
bitten by the bad Delhi Bug?
